How far have we come from this important event in the civil rights movement?
Though Legally white and black people have equal rights today, and we do have a black president(in which it seems to be progressive) but black people are still prejudiced. They may not be hired by companies because of the color of their skin, and the media is degrading races as always.
I feel as though we have made physical changes, that many people still have the same mind set as was there in 1965 during the march.
It seems that there are not many things to do, we have tried and tried for change for over one hundred years, i think the only way for us to get out of this rut is by everyone to consider this state and think a long time about it because change can only come from within. only you can set yourself free.
You're absolutely right. The only problem is that people are generally very bad at empathy - putting themselves in other people's shoes - and won't ever change their behavior until it affects them directly. I wish the world wasn't like that...
